Westland Houseplant Potting Mix - 4L

While it can support some plants, it is formulated for moisture-loving foliage plants. For cacti and succulents, a mix with higher grit or sand content is recommended.

The mix is designed to provide optimal physical conditions for roots, but you should supplement with a specific liquid houseplant feed during the growing season.

The 4L bag is typically sufficient for repotting 2 to 3 small-to-medium sized houseplant pots.

Wood fibre provides long-term structural stability and prevents the potting mix from compacting, which keeps the root system aerated.

Westland focuses on sustainable formulations using ingredients like wood fibre to maintain the necessary air-to-water ratio without relying solely on traditional peat.

This may indicate the soil has become hydrophobic. Water slowly from the top or bottom-soak the pot for 15 minutes to rehydrate the fibers.

Ensure you are not overwatering. Allow the top layer of the potting mix to dry out completely between waterings to disrupt the gnat life cycle.
